sorry i am and how sorry we are to particularly the victims of illegal voice mail interception and their families. the matter of great regret of mine, my fathers, and everyone at news corporation and these are standards -- these actions do not live up to the standards that our company as spires to everywhere around the world it is our determination to both put things right make sure these things don't happen again and be the company that i know we have always aspired to be. adds for my comments mr. chairman and my statement which i believe was around a closure of the news of the world newspaper -- >> before we get to that i would like to say one sentence this is the most humble day of my life. thank you. >> the statement around the closure of the news of the world newspaper where i stated

that we -- the company had not been in full possession of the facts when certain statements were made to this committee was referring to emergence of new facts largely that came about end of 2010 as the due process of a number of civil trials reached their point where document disclosure and evidence disclosure made it apparent to the company and to myself at that time, that indeed there was reason to believe potentially more people had been involved in news of the world illegal voice mail interceptions from before. that was new evidence or new information at the time that post dated the 2009 hearings that is what i was referring to. subsequent to our discovery of that information in one of the civil trials end of 2010 which i believe was the sienna miller case civil trial around illegal

voice mail interception, the company immediately went to look at additional records around the individual involved the company alerted the police, who restarted on that basis the investigation that is now under way, and since then the company has admitted liability to victims of illegal voice mail interception has apologized unreservedly which i repeat today to those victimthe company set up a compensation scheme independently managed by a former high court judge to be able to deal we will jet mate claims coming from -- legitimate claims coming from victims of terrible incidents of voice mail interception those were the actions taken as soon as the new evidence emerged so when i made the statement about not being in full possession of the facts, it was those facts at that point, they were still in the future and it was in the due

process of that civil trial, civil litigation process, that evidence really emerged for us and we acted and the company acted as swiftly and transparently as possible. >> when this committee took evidence in 2009, we heard from the managing editor, legal manager of news international and the news editor, former editor andy cole son and the former chairman of news international all of them told us there had been a thorough investigation no evidence had ever been found anybody else was involved. clearly that is not correct were any of them lying to this committee. >> mr. chairman, the company relied on three things, for a period of time, up until the new evidence emerged the

company relied on a police investigation in 2007, this is before -- i will recount this to try to take us back to this area this is before i was involved i became involved in the news corporation and news international matters end of 2007 in the 2007 period there was a police investigation, successful prosecutions were brought against two individuals and the editor of the news of the world resigned. and the company relied on both the police having closed the investigation and repeated assertions there was no new evidence for them to reopen their investigation, the company relied on the pcc which it had reports and said there was nothing more to this at the time and the company relied on the legal opinion of outside counsel brought in related to those matters who with respect to their review, um, had issued

a clear opinion that there was no additional illegality other than the two individuals involved before. and the company relied on those facts and for the company in 2008 and 2009, it was not clear that there was a reason to believe that those matters were anything other than settled matters and in the past. >> so is it your testimony to this committee the individuals that gave up evidence in 2009, none of them knew at that time what had been going on? >> i do not have direct knowledge of what they knew and what time, but i can tell you that the critical new facts as i saw them and as the company saw them really emerged in the production of documentary information or evidence in the civil trials, at the end of 2010 and the duration from 2008 until -- or 2007 until the end

of 2010 and the length of time it took for that to come clear, and for that real evidence to be there, is a matter of deep frustration mine i have to tell you i know and i sympathize with the frustration of this committee and it is a matter of real regret that the facts could not emerge and could not be gotten to, to my understanding, faster. >> well, you make clear that it is the case that information we were given was incorrect have you established who as well as live goodman was involved in phone hacking in news of the world? >> i am sorry mr. chairman can you repeat that? >> who as well as live goodman was involved in phone hacking in news of the world. >> as i think you made it clear mr. chairman there have been a number of arrests of former news of the world employees, these are matters for current

criminal investigations i think it is understandably difficult for me to comment in particular around some of those individuals. >> have you carried out your own investigation since the discovery of this information to find out the extent of involvement in phone hacking in the news of the world? >> we have established a group in the company co-operating very closely with the police on their investigation, their investigation is broad with respect to journalistic practices in particular journalistic practices at news of the world and policy and direction the company has given them is to co-operate fully and transparently with the police, to provide information and evidence that the company believes and they believe is relevant to those investigations some times proactively some times in response to those requests and again i think the very fact that the provisthe new

information to the police in the first place when there was no police investigation ongoing that then lead to, in part reopening or new investigation being established i hope can be testament to some proactive action, and transparency with respect to getting to the right place in terms of finding out the fact of what happened understanding all of the allegations, that are coming in and moving forward to aid the police in successful completion of the serious work they are doing. >> okay the departure of your company in the recent few days of tom cone, rebecca brooks and hinton is that because they have any knowledge of phone hacking? >> i have no knowledge and there is no evidence that i am

aware of that mrs. brooks or mr. hinton or any of those executives had knowledge of that and their assertions certainly mrs. brooks and assertions to me of her knowledge of those things has been clear none the less, those resignations have been accepted, but it is important you know, on the basis that there is no evidence today, that i have seen or that i have any knowledge of that there was any impropriety by them. >> okay i will turn to tom watson. >> good afternoon sir. you repeatedly stated that news corp. had a -- has a zero tolerance to wrong doing by employees that's right? >> yes. >> in october 2010, did you still believe it to be true when you made your speech and said let me be clear we will

vigorously pursue the truth and not tolerate wrong doing? >> yes. >> so if you were not lying then some body lied to you who was it? >> i don't know that is what the police are investigating and we are helping them with. >> you acknowledge you were mislead. >> clearly. >> can i take you back to 2003, are you aware that in march of that year, rebecca brooks gave evidence to this committee admitting paying police? >> i am now aware of that i was not aware at the time i am also aware that she amended that considerably very quickly afterwards. >> i think she amended it 7 or 8 years afterwards but -- >> well, sorry. >> but did you or anyone else at your organization investigate this at the time? >> no. >> can you explain why? >> i didn't know of it i am

sorry i need to say something and this is not an excuse, maybe it is an explanation of my lapsety news of the world is less than 1% of our company i employ 53,000 people around the world who are proud and great and ethical and distinguished people -- professionals and perhaps -- i am watching and appointing people whom i trust to run those divisions. >> mr. murdoch i do accept you have many distinguished people who run your company you were also responsible for the corporate government's news corp. so i am trying to establish who knew about wrong doing if i can take you forward to 2006, when live goodman was arrested and

subsequently convicted of intercrepting voice mails were you made aware of that? >> i think i was made aware of when they were convicted. >> what did news international do subsequent to the arrest to get to the facts? >> we worked with the police, upon further investigation and eventually we appointed very quickly appointed a very leading team of lawyers in the city to investigate if you recall ther. >> -- further. i will come to you in a minute i just -- let me finish my line of questioning i will come to you. what did you personally do to investigate that after mr. goodman went to prison you were obviously concerned about it? >> i spoke to hinton who told me about it.

>> okay. >> can i ask you 2008, why did you not dismiss news of the world chief reporter neville full jack ban following the measly case >> i never heard of it. >> okay despite a judge making clear he [ [inaudible] ] >> i didn't hear that. >> a judge made it clear he set out to blackmail two of the women in the case >> that is the first i heard of that. >> none of your uk staff drew your attention to the serious wrong doing even though it made media attention >> i think my son can answer that better -- >> i will come to your son in a minute. >> despite he got a 14 year sentence no one in your uk company brought this fact to your attention. >> the blackmail charge no. >> do you thing that might be

because they knew you would think nothing of it? >> no. i can't answer -- i don't know. >> do you agree with mr. justice eady when he said the lack of action discloses a remarkable state of affairs at news international? >> no. >> mr. murdoch, a judge found chief reporter guilty of blackmail, it was widely reported, he said it was a remarkable -- >> why didn't he put him in jail? >> because it was a civil case. were you aware news international commission did an investigation of e-mails by hard bottle -- >> was i? >> aware news international commissioned an investigation into news international e-mails by hard bottle and lewis.
